He wasn't the only problem last year but, he was a part of the problem (too many int's). Throw in Searles and Bobo too.

They seemed to catch when Stockton came in. And we’re actually excited.

Do a comparison with the same receivers that played for stet and Beck. AS is a prime example. Great catches under stet, but then again stet hit players in stride

Looks pretty good with receivers who can separate and catch. OL that can block seems to help also.


Yeah, if only he would have had some talent around him last season, heck, who knows?...he might would have won us an SEC championship or something.

I'd like to see Miami win the ACC. It would be fun to meet them in the playoffs.

He threw for 200 total yards, let’s pump the brakes. One of those TD’s was a prayer that was getting intercepted until his WR one hand grabbed it.

He looked no different than past seasons. The Disneys on the site will slob his knob all season and claim that Bobo wasn’t the problem either.


He had a decent statistical game. The play calling got very conservative after they took the 2 score lead. His receivers made plays for him which helped. ND also got away with a number of PIs and had one called that would have been 60 yards and a TD. Still, he lead his team to a win vs a good ND team. If you saw the interview at the end of the game and watched it without bias and inherent disdain, you would see the power of the cancer dawgs.

He saw what Miami did with Cam Ward and made the best decision for himself. And got paid to do it.

He also lost his job due to an injury so he really didn’t have much of a choice but to leave

IMHO. Beck is a good pocket passer until the D gets to him. When he starts feeling defenders at his feet his mechanics and decisions become suspect. Last year our OL allowed this a lot and he had no confidence in them. It affected his entire game. His personality didn’t do him any favors insofar as building team chemistry.

Their Oline looks legit but Miami doesn't play with near the intensity of GA. ND lost a lot and started a first time College QB with no real experience and still almost pulled it out.

People compare our Wes last season, I don't remember any drops with the remade group.

Beck has a degree from Georgia and championship rings.

His last play as a Dawg was a hand off to secure an SEC title.

Lets not forget that he stuck it out at Georgia as a backup.

He is basically using his remaining eligibility to get paid over 3 million this year as a mercenary because the injury impacted his draft situation.

We all need to accept the reality that he would have very likely been in the draft if not for the injury.

I think people need to remember that 2 things can be true at the same time. I do believe the multiple reports that CB wasn’t locked in and leading the way he should last season. Does that have anything to do with not having great receivers? Maybe a little.

But I also have no problem believing that going to Miami was a reset for him. That he has his head screwed on straighter and is more focused now. I wouldn’t go so far as to say he was a locker room cancer last year, but even if he was, that doesn’t mean it’s a certainty he will be this year. Maybe he’s a front runner. Plenty of decent QBs have been. But we didn’t hear any negative about him in 23 but he also had a much better OL and weaponry.

I guess my whole thing is there’s nothing that says Beck leaving can’t be mutually beneficial to him and Miami and us. Also as some have mentioned, if we had Beck on salary this year, even if we didn’t pay him Miami money, he still would have eaten a good deal into what we were able to do in the portal financially.

I don’t have disdain for Beck at all. I liked the emotion he showed in the interview but he also brought a lot of that on himself. On the field and off. So, I imagine he had a lot of clean up to do personally causing the emotions.

My problem with him as a GA player is/was that he also was a problem in the locker room from a continuity standpoint point. The team never rallied around him for a reason and he couldn’t get along with his OC. I also am not a believer in Bobo. He is who he is…same as the Richt years we will be 10-2 or 11-1 and lose the big game due to being out schemed.

Bookmark this post if he wins the natty for us and I will say I was wrong about Bobo but not before then. We have 20 years of data on him.

Is it possible that the frustrations Beck had from reading social media and his own fans brutally and vilely attacking him played a part in where his head was? I can tell you the answer based on what his Dad said and it was a yes. Grown men who certainly know that kids at this age are still kids and are navigating a lot, even though they get paid now. Beck made a lot of mistakes on and off the field, with that said, he did not deserve to be treated by his own fans (SIC) the way he was. Dude waited his turn, graduated from UGA, and did everything but win a Natty and people whose only involvement with UGA is deciding they wanted to be a fan, shite on players like him. Sorry if I have a problem with that.

He also would’ve thrown off the order of succession that Kirby had set up at Qb. I imagine Stockton and Puglisi would’ve gone elsewhere for playing time if Beck stayed.

The Cancer is strong in them. This morning I'm texting with one of my Cancer Dawg friends and he's poking fun at Beck's "mediocre" stats. I asked if he actually watched the game.... "I watched the first half"...

Their hate is growing stronger.

Looked good until got pressure. Wasn’t pressured much.

Drops wasn’t his fault but chemistry and timing might have been.

That's every quarterback who has ever played the game. That's why every defense on every team everywhere from pop warner to the NFL focuses on pressuring the QB, because their stats under pressure are statistically significantly lower.

True but the best ones…Stafford…learn how to handle it or run away from it. Beck hadn’t learned that yet.

True but it was to the point Beck seemed to feel pressure when there wasn't any.
